RCS, I suppose, so we can stop hearing about it.
I rather have a real firefox browser.
And uBlock Origin🤤
None, still waiting for third party stores.
RCS, Better Home Screen and Control Center customization, finally getting locked and hidden apps on iOS as Android has had those for years! The Photos update is pretty good, in addition to Lock Screen customization.
The one that’s not shown: Standalone Passwords app
Yes!
Honestly, I just hope Siri transcription for iMessage gets better, and that the music app will actually do a decent job of recognizing the artist/album/thing I want to listen to.
Can’t wait for great dictation (please! 🤞)
The satellite thing will save lives
Great feature. Will note they did have emergency satellite messages before, iPhone 14/15.
Hmm in most countries:
Satellite connectivity isn’t offered on iPhone models purchased in Armenia, Belarus, China mainland, Hong Kong, Macao, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, and Russia.
Apparently no paid agreements to use satellite around those regions.
Definitely Emoji Tapbacks
Control screen customization I guess? Maybe the hiking thing? (But like there are already decent 3rd party apps for that…)
The new Quick Settings, reminder integration in Calendar, maybe the coloured Icons
You should try FantastiCal
The new homescreen grid for sure.
No mention of the calculator app on iPadOS smh
So apparently parallax is quietly coming back? I’ve decided that’s now the thing I’m most excited for.
Heh disabled that so didn’t know it was gone
Battery was one reason, probably minimal of course. Might not’ve appreciated effect too, can’t remember now, would re-try
I never got into fidget spinners, but having parallax on my iPhone’s Home Screen probably had a similar effect for me. I’d just play with it every once in a while and enjoyed it. I’ve always been mindful of battery drain, but I consciously made an exception for parallax.
So many features, yet the calculator is still a piece of shit. What’s the thing with Apple? Is it THAT hard to make something like this: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/calc-smart-calculator/id576675190
Something decent that actually shows you the entire expression with the ability to place the cursor anywhere to edit previously inserted numbers?
I just don’t get it, their calculator is the most useless thing ever, you type a number, hit “+” and the number is gone.
No shame in leaving room for third party apps. I don’t really expect the built-ins to be all encompassing…
Lots of updates coming to the ios calculator with ios18. They obviously focused on the ipad version because it has the written math notes stuff, but a lot of those features are coming to the iphone, too.

The current calculator has had a lot more options if you turn the phone sideways, but no one ever does that. Personally, I’m a pCalc guy.
